July has brought us a lot – new hardware, software, free courses, and of course, the red white and blue. But before the month wraps, one of blue’s cousins, jazz will be joining us with Todd Whitelock and Al Pryor .

If you’re in the great state of Texas and would like to enjoy a wonderful evening among fellow Pro Audio peers, be sure to attend these informative events. Click on the links for RSVP and details. Food and drinks will be provided.

The talkback mic feeds the headphone output independently. This means that if you turn down your headphone output, but turn up your talkback level, you will hear just the talkback through the headphone output.

Each headphone output provides 20 watts of clean, high quality amplification. There is plenty of juice to feed headphone distribution boxes like the Redco Little Red Cue Box. Depending on the impedance of the headphones utilized, the headphone output can handle up to 16 sets… READ MORE How do I hook up more than two pairs of headphones?

The D-Box is made with all the same components as all Dangerous Gear. The summing section is identical to the 2-Bus (but cut in half), and the D/A and monitoring paths are mostly the same as what can be found in our other gear.

To monitor from up to three sources simultaneously (instead of the default single source), first enter setup mode. To enter setup mode press the mono and alt spkr buttons simultaneously. Both switches will flash alternately indicating that the D-Box is waiting to set the input… READ MORE I want to hear two sources at once, how do I do that?

No. The price difference is strictly based on extra features and the labor to hand wire items like individual XLR vs. DB25 connectors and the added cost of 16 boost switches, a stepped attenuator and custom power supply.

“I bought a bunch of gear, which got me to 80%. Then I researched this little gem out, and the rest is analog history for me. It’s like I poured glue all over my mixes. Fat, Warm, Depth, Clarity and Punch. Did I mention Fat?… READ MORE Jack

“I use my Dangerous 2-BUS LT on every mix. It instills a certain clarity and openness to the balance that is hard to achieve when mixing strictly in-the-box. All the tracks seem to sit more comfortably in their own niche. The 2-BUS LT is a… READ MORE Marc Bauman

No. The summing mixer should be utilized throughout the entire process from mic placement to mastering. For example, don’t cloud the mic selection process by listening through a bottleneck; reveal all the detail, punch and stereo width throughout the entire project.

Absolutely! The summing mixer should be utilized throughout the entire process from mic placement to mastering. For example, don’t cloud the mic selection making process by listening through a bottleneck; reveal all the detail, punch and stereo width.

“I love the D-BOX. No other unit that I’ve seen accomplishes what it does. Between the monitoring, headphone amp and summing mixer, it makes my job increasingly easier; and the music I make sounds 100-times better.”

Do people still argue about analog summing versus in-the- box mixing? I’m sure somewhere in Internet-world, the flames are still raging. I can see both sides of the long- running argument, but it’s kind of like pontificating on hiking.… READ MORE TapeOp Reviews 2-BUS+

The CD Input is a digital input (AES/SPDIF) that utilizes the D-Box’s mastering-grade D/A converter for monitoring. This allows you to listen to songs through the same converter and at the same reference level as your mix. You can plug in any device that has… READ MORE What is the CD Input for? Can I plug in an iPod there?

Every additional component in the signal path degrades your music, and makes recall more complicated. True summing bus devices differ from mixers: they do not have faders, aux sends etc… they simply sum your audio together, while preserving all the functionality of your DAW! If… READ MORE Where are all the faders and pan pots on the summing mixers?

When switching between DAW and SUM on the D-Box, you are switching between 2 different D/A converters- the converter in the D-Box, and the converter in your interface. Different converters will be calibrated to different reference levels, therefore one may be louder than the other.
